This study contains data on conflict events between
ethnic, racial, linguistic, and religious minority groups and
predominant groups within society in 84 nations in the period
1955-1965. For each event, data are provided for the type of
event, number and type of initiator and target of event, nature
of minority tension, issues involved, date, location and duration
of event, presence of violence, outcome of the event, number of
initiators, targets, and mediators injured, arrested, or killed,
and number of significant persons involved in the event as initiators,
targets, or mediators that were injured, killed, or arrested. A summary
scale was developed to measure the different intensity levels of
aggressive behavior as well as the degree of friendliness signified
by an event in minority tensions.
